Untouched landscapes, ready to explore
Whether you’re an avid walker or just keen on gorgeous views, Seal Rocks offers some truly scenic strolls right on your doorstep. Most local walks are short, family-friendly and perfect for breaking up beach days with a little nature and local history. Starting from your base at Seal Rocks, you'll have access to a variety of different walks and hikes in and around the area. There are options for most levels of fitness, from easy walks to overnight hikes, so grab your walking shoes and let's hit the trails!
Beach-lined scenic strolls
One of the biggest draws of Seal Rocks is how remote it feels yet how close it is to the stunning coastline. You can take one of the many trails to get out and explore, or choose a beach and let your feet guide you. If you're chasing views and squeaky sand, you're in the right place!
When it comes to easy Seal Rocks walks, head down to Yagon Beach (the western end of Treachery Beach) to find the Submarine Beach Walking Track. It's a 1 km return forest and beach trail that takes you out to the golden sands of Submarine Beach and passes through banksia and blackbutt forest with ocean lookouts.

Go lake hopping
Myall Lakes National Park
By far one of the must-see places when you're in Seal Rocks is the expansive Myall Lakes National Park. Aside from it being one of NSW's biggest coastal lake systems, there are plenty of opportunities to get out and explore on foot. For an easy stroll, try Neranie Headland or Dark Point / Little Gibber walking track.
For a bigger challenge, hit the Mungo Walking Track (21 km one way). It has diverse landscapes from lakes to dunes and old sand mining routes, ideal for an overnight trek if you’re equipped for it. You’ll need to prepare supplies ahead of time – including food, water, a first aid kit and camping gear (for overnight stays) – as once you’re out there, it’s quite remote. But we reckon it's one of the Seal Rocks hikes you'll talk about for years to come!
